How security should be implmented at Loughborough College

This week, I am going to write about how Loughborough College should implement security into their network system.

Security issues have become more of a concern in establishments like colleges because hundreds of people are using the network on day-to-day basis; hence high security has to be acknowledged. The reason why high security is essential is the network can be prone to hacking and malware being obtained onto the system.

How I think Loughborough College should implement security at each level:

Computer networks have different levels of security for example; administrators can access all users accounts simultaneously, access to drives on the network. Also they have access to all drives on the computers that are networked for example, hard drive, flash drive, CD/DVD drive etc with no restrictions. Managers, teachers, lecturers and head of departments have a different level of security for example; they have a more limited access to the network, they cannot access certain accounts, banned from inappropriate websites, limited access to drives on the network etc. Employees and students have the tightest level of security for example, tight control over the network drives, no control over accounts and banned from inappropriate websites. Use severs that are dedicated for securing the network.
